A 29-year-old man killed himself, believing his wife, who was receiving treatment, had passed away. Emmanuvel George from Ernakulam, Kerala has been identified as deceased. According to Eloor police, George hanged himself in the X-ray room of a private hospital while his wife Mariya was receiving medical attention.
According to a police officer, the man, believing his wife had passed away, killed himself by hanging on Sunday at 1:30 in the morning. Linto John, Mariya's brother, reportedly informed the police about the event.
Under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), a case for unnatural death has been filed in this regard. The police stated that additional inquiry into the matter will take place in the next coming days.
In another example, an 18-year-old Keralan influencer committed suicide in June, citing cyberbullying as the reason for her breakup with her purported 18-year-old partner. According to reports, she committed suicide as a result of being called out by her ex-boyfriend's social media followers after their split. After spending a week in a private hospital, she passed away. Her ex-boyfriend, with whom she had broken up three months before her death, was then taken into custody by the police when they opened an unnatural death case. He was charged with aiding and abetting suicide under the POCSO Act after the girl's family members filed a complaint.
